This was NAKked before for that reason so why the resubmit. Kernel policy is clear enough ? > + * You need a userspace application to cooperate with this driver.

More information on this to be posted later. So NAK Let's see an open userspace and then this driver can be submitted + time = wait_event_interruptible_timeout(ar1520_data->wait_irq, + ar1520_data->irq_rx, + msecs_to_jiffies(3142)); Why 3142 ? Come to think of it why not fixes the races while you are it.
